      I haven't listened to even one second of the video (they're trying to fool the public into going along with funding an even bigger, more expensive and more useless particle accelerator). But I can say this is all a scam. Physics went completely off the rails with the Copenhagen interpretation and has accomplished nothing in at least 75 years. See Alexander Unzicker for more. I have many more sources but am not going to list them. But did you know they've studied electromagnetism for 200 years and still don't know how electricity works? Search "Jefimenko, electromagnetism, causality. Philosophers have known all along that physicists aren't doing science and have been writing unread books and papers about it all the time. Also read Freeman Dyson's Why Maxwell's Theory is so Hard to Understand. That will tell you why they have the flexibility to fabricate nonsense forever.

    From looking at this setup, it's clear that it isn't like an atomic interferometer. It's designed to capture antimatter to take measurements. However, this setup looks like it can be run with regular matter too with the tops and bottoms set up to measure regular matter to see if the error ranges are similar. If they are, it would point to the method of measurement ( the hardware setup itself ) being a primary source of the range and would suggest moving towards an improved method of measuring.

    This result was interesting. If we consider that the most mass of the proton is from the gluons, then we know that mass from energy (E=m*c²) falls "down". Then if the quarks themself would fall "up" we would see less than 1 G of gravity for the anti-hydrogen. The difference would be tiny, so a more precise experiment is needed to resolve this.

    Thank you . Because of this video I learnt in a concise manner the differences between matter and anti-matter in terms of their interactions via the 4 major forces. I am actually even more puzzled that the weak force shows any difference at all and about why we still have no explanation for the baryonic asymmetry. This leds me to ask if we really think there is really an asymmetry or if there is some other explanation. Overall the clarity of the presentation and its allocation of time to each point discussed. Rather than delve too deep into controversial points or over explain and complex point the video does a good job or touching upon every key point letting the viewer decide on how to digest and process the information. I greatly appreciate this Video for in content and presentation.

      @spiker.ortmann Před 2 měsíci +2

      Time not necessarily runs backwards in that mirror universe, that bit I'm not sure if should be included in the hypothesis. But I always thought that the reason we see antimatter quantities so small is that we are in a matter bubble and out of the observable universe is a similar antimatter bubble with the quantities inverted. I like to think the universe is just "a bubble in the sea" because that explains every inconsistency of quantities. Of course, there's no way of proving it as the theoretical border of the bubble would be out of our observable distance and farther away each day. So at best, can be considered a theoretical hypothesis but I still like the idea. 😁

      I like where you are headed but need more explanation. You made me think of this though, and I'm sorry to plagiarize if this was your point. If antimatter had antigravity, there would never have been the initial annihilation of just about all antimatter with the nearly equal, but slightly greater, amount of matter. The two types would have pushed apart and the universe would be different in the extreme.
      Would antimatter be attracted to itself or would it repel matter as well as antimatter? If the former, where antimatter attracts antimatter but repels matter, and all antimatter survived by never coming into contact with matter, I would imagine an oil and water universe. All the structure of the universe times two. Entire galaxies of antimatter. But I guess more radioactive?
      For the latter case, if antimatter repelled all forms of matter, then I can imagine we'd have our current universe, but with double the amount of visible stuff. But half that stuff would just be clouding space, which is not the case. But I suppose it would lead to acceleration of the expansion of the universe. But, there is just no antimatter to be found. We have to create it.

    I am not a scientist but something just came up in my little brain. Since we all learned that matter and energy can not be produced nor destroyed but can only switch from one form to another, is it plausible that the antimatter was not destroyed but somehow was transported into a parallel universe of antimatter?

    • @atticmuse3749
      @atticmuse3749 Před měsícem +3

      "matter cannot be created or destroyed" is only really a "law" for chemistry, where you conserve atoms between reactions. The more fundamental law is that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. So a particle and anti-particle colliding destroys matter and releases energy as photons (usually).

    It would be very, very difficult to determine if anti-matter had a negative gravitational charge. A lot of people suggest anti-matter would fall up, but that ignores what gravity is: A bend in space-time. Here in Earths gravity well, a "straight line" through space is curved down to the ground. What that means is that a particle that curves space outward, instead of inward, would still be completely overpowered by all the positive gravity on Earth. *Such a particle would still fall down.*
    You'd need multiple anti-particles to see if they repel each other, and you'd need to do this in free fall (In zero G).

    • @dragnothlecoona
      @dragnothlecoona Před 2 měsíci

      it would be more like, that antimatter would fall towards antimatter, so technically it would also have a positive gravity, but repelled by matter, which is its opposite. So you can actually have the same mass charge for both matter and antimatter, as they are attracted to themselves, are repulsed by their opposite.

    • @WestAirAviation
      @WestAirAviation Před 2 měsíci

      @@dragnothlecoona Can you elaborate? Positive gravity creates massive gravity wells, while negative gravity would do the opposite: Create a gravity hill. In either case, the particle itself will move in a "straight line" to wherever space is more heavily bent, which on Earth would always be down as matter outnumbers anti-matter.
      Putting that another way: A particle with negative gravity would still follow the World Lines of space-time. It can't escape a singularity, for instance, just because it has negative gravity, it *must* follow space-time curvatures made by positive gravity.
      I don't understand why so many are claiming that a particle with negative gravity would suddenly accelerate away from a gravity well when Lorentz Transformations suggest such a thing is impossible? If you inverse the gravitational constant, you end up subtracting from total G when computing a force, but if there is more matter the net result is always an attraction.
      And so surely a fist-sized clump of anti-matter would, if it did have reverse polarity gravity, aggressively push apart from each other as they bend space-time into a gravity hill, and end up flying into Earth because of it's much larger gravity well?

    • @dragnothlecoona
      @dragnothlecoona Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@WestAirAviation Well your looking at it wrong, what I am saying to keep it simple, is that antimatter may simply be attracted to itself and repelled by matter, and that matter may be repelled by antimatter, and is attracted to itself. Infact if both matter and antimatter repelled each other with equal strength, then the whole expansion of the universe would make more sense as essentially it could be that all the antimatter and matter are pushing each other apart. This could also by why we don't see antimatter and matter collisions, because they are too far apart to cause collisions, or the amount they push away from each other is essentially double then that of matter falling towards matter. For something like a singularity, it is neither matter nor antimatter and has a positive mass charge, so it could be that both are attracted to singularities such as black holes. This would moreover better explain the spiral shape of galaxies and the more uniform speed that that both the inner parts and outer parts of the galaxy seem to move at relatively the same speed.

    • @Blewlongmun
      @Blewlongmun Před 2 měsíci +4

      This is what really irks me about this coverage, Scishow spacetime did an episode on it that was much more satisfying. If you do the math there was never a reason to expect anything different, this is the equivalent of doing 2 + 2 = 4 - 2 = 2 and then freaking out because anti-matter was involved.
      Edit, in response to your paragraph. The real issue with your mental model is that you're trying to treat relativity and quantum mechanics the same, they are fundamentally different even if you can draw comparisons that seem appropriate. It's important to remember any conjecture should be provable in theory, most of this science is done in math so when it's "translated" to a form understandable by the laymen it loses some of it's accuracy.
      Gravity is a product of mass, anti-particles have inversed charges but not negative mass, that's an extremely important distinction. If negative mass did exist you'd see physics defying acceleration, but that's also implying you could form negative mass somehow which no theory of observation implies. Math wise none of it works or even sounds plausible, theoretically you're so far outside of what's logical the only proper response is "no" which I can understand isn't satisfying.
      An interesting place to go from here might be the hypothesized correlation between dark energy and blackholes. I think it's especially peculiar what gravity and inflation have in common, inflation isn't considered a fundamental force but gravity is, and yet gravity is unique in that it's not even a force by definition. Both appear as mono-poll, single-charge, emergent properties of space-time itself.
      That's a current topic of debate and kind of similar to your positive/negative gravity idea, just with theory, I hope it's of interest!

    In the very early universe, just after the weak force separated from the unified force, it was stronger than it is today.

Perhaps the observed difference in weak force response of anti-matter was more powerful then and tipped the scale in favor of matter.

    No! First we experimentally proved that it doesn’t! Second we know that gravity does only have one kind of charge which is always positive (all these are super simplified btw)

      And an ipotetical substance that "fall up" is called exotic matter not antimatter

      Inertial mass might not be positive but negative gravitational mass is impossible.
      Also anti matter is mostly just oppisiyly charged and spins differently, gravity doesn't care much about those differences

      Gravity isn't a force, it's a function of spacetime. Antigravity would require anti-spacetime, not just antimatter.

    The structure of spacetime is a tetrahedrally coordinated expansion contraction oscillation between points in space and antispace. The momentum energy of the expansion phase on each side of this oscillation is condensed to form either matter or antimatter, depending upon which expansion phase is condensed. This also determines whether the charge is positive or negative.

    The fascinating thing about our narrative regarding the beginning of the universe is that matter and anti matter annihilated each other until all that remained is the universe :) That implies the universe is not symmetrical and might in fact be anti symmetrical, whatever that means. Lowest entropy states probably.

    PRIOR to seeing this I had noticed that anti-matter decays at a different rate than matter (faster of course). What fascinates me here is how the weak force interacts and that the chirality (left or right handed spin) will determine whether or not there is an interaction.

    Really fascinating experiments at CERN. Antimatter confuses ...

    I'm excited to hear that the science is moving forwards on this topic. Personally I felt like it made sense for antimatter to gravitationally repel matter ever since learning about the asymmetry mystery. But it also brings a smile to my face hearing that the mystery continues.

    Fascinating subject thank you for explaining it so succinctly. A thought reference to antimatter and its effect on our world and the worlds effects upon it. Has there been tests reference to time and its effect or non effect upon anti matter? What I mean is could time be essentially moving backward for the antimatter particle? Would this even be possible to test?
